ALTIN GUN – On (Repress) – LP – Vinyl

LP – Black Vinyl Repress.

Altn Gn offer an exciting mix of Turkish folk, psychedelia, funk and rock. After performing in Istanbul with Jacco Gardner, bassist Jasper Verhulst became fascinated by the Turkish sound of the 70s. At that time, artists like Selda, Bar Mano and Erkin Koray combined traditional music with westernrock influences.

Along with bandmates Ben Rider (guitar) and Nic Mauskovic (drums), Verhulst searched for Turkish musicians to revive this sound. They found Merve Dasdemir (vocals) and Erdinc Yildiz Ecevit (vocals, saz, keys) through Facebook. Jungle by Nigahts energetic percussionist Gino Groeneveld joined the group and the band was complete. Altn Gn play songs from the aforementioned artists from the 70s and their lesser-known contemporaries and also make their own arrangements of Turkish traditionals. This way different worlds meet and form a refreshing danceable sound.
